EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Unusual Homes August 1946" we are transported back to a time when creativity knew no bounds in the face of housing challenges. Meet Mr. E G. Corrie, a resourceful resident of Crosthwaite Cumberland, who ingeniously solved his family's housing problem by acquiring an extraordinary dwelling: a troop carrying glider! Purchased for a mere £75, this bizarre aircraft became their temporary sanctuary. The image captures Mrs. Corrie gracefully preparing dinner outside their unconventional abode while her two children, Robin and Mavis, play nearby. With its wings spread wide behind them, the glider stands as an emblem of resilience and adaptability amidst post-war scarcity. This photograph not only showcases the ingenuity of families during the 1940s but also highlights the unique circumstances that shaped their lives. It serves as a reminder that home is not defined solely by bricks and mortar but rather by love, determination, and an unwavering spirit. Flint's Memory Lane Prints has expertly preserved this snapshot from history for us to marvel at today. As we gaze upon it with curiosity and admiration, let us be inspired by those who found solace in unconventional dwellings during times of adversity – reminding us that sometimes all it takes is imagination to turn challenges into opportunities for growth and resilience.
